Home security systems help homeowners, police catch crooks

(WTNH) - It's happening all over the state. A man in Watertown took only seconds to smash some glass and get inside a house, and then walk away with the big screen TV. However, a surveillance camera caught him in the act. "These home security systems are great. I have one at my house. They are high-resolution and low-cost. And they can provide us some great evidence when something like this happens," stated Lt. William Meier with Vernon police .

The homeowner got an alarm and was able to watch the man walk through his house, up the stairs and into his bedroom where jewelry was stolen. "We have used this evidence successfully in many cases. Whether it captured a vehicle driving by, or captured somebody inside a house as in this case, it is very helpful evidence," Lt. Meier said. At Mammoth Surveillance, they specialize in security cameras. Daniel Godin saod it's important to get a good system that can see clearly in the dark.

He says there are also hidden cameras you can place right on your front porch. "They will have a spotlight camera that will replace a conventional spotlight, so as people are coming up to your home, it will alert you on your phone and you can have a two-way conversation with them back and forth," Godin explained. Police warn that as the weather warms up, the windows open up as well, and that makes a prime target for burglars.

The Edward Snowden Interview Closed-circuit television In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced as a new form of surveillance, often used in law enforcement, with cameras located on a police officer's chest or head. Video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public. Special cameras for some of these purposes include line-scan cameras and thermographic cameras which allow operators to measure the temperature of the processes. With the addition of fixed cameras for the active traffic management system, the number of cameras on the Highways Agency's CCTV network is likely to increase significantly over the next few years. The cameras send the feed to a central control center where a producer selects feeds to send to the television monitors that fans can view.  New York C...
